Review: I got exactly what I thought I would. - This is a beautiful knife. It's well made, is exquisitely packed, and comes sharp as a razer straight out of the box. The balance point is at the writing on the blade, so it is point heavy. If you are used to using light weight knives, this knife will come as a shock to you; it's a little on the heavy side. And If you are used to using smaller knives, this knife will take some getting used to; it's big, it looks and feels like it’s made for serious business. You will also need an appropriate size cutting board and work surface. If you don’t have any of this, it's time to upgrade before your new knife arrives. Now for the good news. If you bought this knife knowing that it would fit the environment your using it in, and it fits you, your style and skill level; you will love this knife. From looking at the pictures, my wife was concerned that the handle was small. I have huge hands, hers are medium. When it arrived, I was glad to see that it fit both her and my hands just fine. For both of us, it was comfortable to use; but we are both accustom to using large knives.
Review: This knife is amazing!! - First of all, this knife looks bad ass! The damascus is real unlike laser etching that other people use. On top of looking like something that you should hang on your wall, its very sharp. I have used it quite a bit and goes through everything like butter. The weight of the blade is fine in my opinion. It helps the cutting. I have been hand washing and hand drying the blade per recommendation so I don't risk ruining the beautiful damascus. Yes it is expensive, but I would highly recommend it!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Made in country?**
A: Thank you for your question. Our knives are painstakingly assembled by expert blades smiths in a state-of-the-art facility within YangJiang, China (a city renowned for knife crafting for nearly 1500 years). We use premium materials from different locations depending on the product (for example, our Shogun & Phantom Series uses steel made in Japan, and our Gladiator Series uses steel made in Germany and handles made of pakkawood from Spain.) 

We are thus able to achieve exceptional quality but keep the costs of our knives lower for our customers. We offer unparalleled quality AND support at pure value pricing. If these were produced in Japan the costs would be significantly higher. Our Chinese factory proudly stands head and shoulders above all others in YangJiang, as our artisans (and lead foreman specifically) are on a personal mission to prove to the world Chinese quality can be world-class. Our products go through rigorous processes, with unparalleled attention and care given to each blade. We are so confident in the quality of our knives we offer an industry record-length 120-day full money back guarantee (including the shipping) and a limited lifetime warranty.

**Q: What are the dimensions of the blade itself?**
A: From heel to tip it's 8.1875"  long and  from spine to blade it's 2.25" at it's tallest and tapers to 1.75" at the heel.

**Q: Its that a real damascus blade or its laser ingraved**
A: Thank you for your question. Our Dalstrong Shogun Series "The Crixus" 8' Chef Knife and Cleaver Knife has a real Damascus blade. Sharpened under the ancient 3-step Honbazuke method and married to bleeding-edge technology. Should you have any other concerns, please feel free to drop us a line. Have a great day!

**Q: Should i get the 8 or the 12?**
A: Hi, David thank you for your question. Choosing the knife size is similar to choosing the type of knife. It really depends on the purpose and usage. If you will be using it for home use I would suggest the Shogun Series 8" the Crixus Chef Knife and there is the weight difference also to consider. But if you will be using it professionally I would suggest the 12" considering the length and the added weight for easy slicing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't think twice!! Get one now!!!
*by A***Y on April 24, 2021*

So I can't say enough good things about the actual company. I had a shipment whare I didn't get the knife but I received everything else. I sent an email to the company directly and within a couple hours I had a response. Sent a pic and they apologized and shipped a new one no questions. I honestly have never had a problem solved so simple as this. Talk about a company standing behind a product and customer service oriented!!! The quality of the knife I did receive is exceptional. Comfort. Durability and super sharp out of the box. I will and would recommend to anyone looking to buy new knives not to even think twice. These are superb quality and with customer service as driven as they are I can't forsee any issues. I can't thank you all enough for the speedy and kind response.
